Latinos and Media Project

Mission

The mission of this site is to serve as a guiding light for information and resources about a variety of issues related to Latinos and the Media; and highlight people, media, organizations, institutions, and events that illustrate the growth of Latinos in various communication arenas in the United States, Latin America, and other parts of the world.

Management & Funding

The Latinos and Media Project is directed by Professor Federico Subervi and is based at the School of Journalism & Mass Communication at Texas State University-San Marcos. It is undergoing an update thanks to funding from the Ford Foundation. The LaMP was launched in 1997 thanks to a seed grant by the National Council of La Raza and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, when Professor Subervi worked at the University of Texas at Austin.

Organization

While the mission of the Latinos and Media Project is inclusive and broad, the content is still being developed and updated. As the project grows, so will the materials that it provides. The site is divided into four main sections: Resources and Research, Journalism Award Winners, Organizations and Media.
